iron posts and rods for The Aqueduct bridge
have nav arrived and been placed at either
end of The bridge in readiness for use. Ii
only remains TO finish Gil the tops of several
of the piers and place the sandstone coping
in position and tho work Of distributing the
| iron spsnners will be commenced. The ep-
preach abutment On the District eide has
been completed with TIE exception of some
ornamental work. 1t 10 OF rubber masonry
and is fine piece Of work. The first six
piers are not yet sufficiently completed to
receive the coping and bridge seats, but
work on them is IA. advanced, and the tops
will be finished in q couple OF weeks. The
five piers on the Virginia side have already
been fitted with the ponderous granite seats
on which are to rest the iron spanner9. The
Mt. Vernon Bridge Company has been at
work for two months on the District abut-
meut. Men are now engaged in filling in
the space between it aud the river bank
with earth. Just beyond is q masonry bulk
head, which confines the water of the canal
within bounds This bulkhead is, however,
below The bridge and will have no con-
nection with it. The approach abutment
on the Virginia side has been entirely fin
iahed. Earth has been piled in on the land
size of it, and there is nothing further to be
DONE with the exception Diminishing touches
on the completion CT the whole structure.
Resting upcn this a5utment and arranged
conveniently for lowering upon the bridge
is huge pile OF iIou posts, cords and span
ners. An engine, derricks, large squad of
men, ard q multitude Of ropes are found
necessary to place tho heavy iron
timbess in position. The spanners and
cords for the first three spans have
already been distributed along the piers.
There are eleven spans in the bridge. Throc
spaus can be erected in two weeks. It will,
therefore. take about eight weeks to finish the
work. The weather will have moro or less effect,
and if everything is favorable it is possible that
the bridge may be open to travel in less time. AT

in working hours. In regard to the failure of tho
Sit. Vorn0n Bridge Company TO complete the
work vt the specified time Mr.. Wyncoop their
agent, says the delays experienced could not have
been provided against, and hopes these facts will
be considered by the people who are inconve-
nerc,d and that tho superior quality of the work
being done will afford some compensation. Col.
Hams, the engineer in charge of the work, says

"Hon. John E. Taylor, Mayor of Manchester.
has just returned from Washington, D. c., and
states that he attended dinner party, at
which were some very wealthy men. The pro-
posed monument to General Robert Z. Lee was a
topic of discussion. The Hon. Wash. Mclean, tho
millionaire, who owns tho Spring Hill property,
remarked that he would have cheerfully donated
a site on Spring Hill for the monument. and
would build beautiful park around it, if the
association thought proper to place the monument
there. This would have cos5 Mr.. Mclean about
$4,000. He said he was prompted to cay this
account of his admiration of the character
and great military achievements of Lee than for
any pccuniary advantage that he may have de-
rived by the financial outlay"

Marine Disaster.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mich, Oct 4-The schooner
Havana, owned by Capt. a. P. Read, OF ke-
nosha, was sighted OFF this port yesterday
morning flying u signal of distress. The
vessel was in 4 sinking condition and the
crew were unable to keep her hold clear of
water Capt. John Cusran concluded to
beach her if possible, and headed for shore.
At Q o'clock, when shont three fourths Of
mile off shore, the vessel went down, and
the crew were seen to climb into the rig
cing. There were seven men aboard Capt
Curran, steward John ltorris and Il sHior,
named Joseph Clint, climbed into the main
rigging and the others into the fore rigging.
Az the vessel gave q heavy lurch the main
mast crashed overheard, carrying the three
men into thu breakers They struck out for
shore, and when last seen were hreasting
the waves. They were probably drowned.
The remaining four men cuug to the cross
trees for nearly four hours, when q tug came
to their rescue 1t took nearly three quar-
tiers of M hour 10 gat the men froni theii
perilous position. The names Of the res
cued men are Samuel McClinlon, mate !;
Charles Hagan, Robert Mccormick and
George Hughes. Tho mate had his arm
broken before the vessel :ank. but he chung
to the mast with the grit OF hero. The
captain and crew OF the tug deserve much
praise for the rescue, as there was terrible
sea running, and the little tug was tossed
about SO that those who watched her from
shore thought she would surely founder

struction of the Kenewyck bridge and

railroad, and does not affect the
alleged unlawful cutting of timber
used in the construction of snow
sheds in the Cascade mountains.
FRosT's TESTIMONY.
The affidavit OF Special Agent Frost
was presented, setting forth that dur
ing his examination of public lands he
found Frederick Leonhard with sew
enty employees operating saw mills
Zone three miles east of Eaton and an
other three miles northeast of Clee-
lum), and engaged in cutting fir and
other trees and saving them into ties
to be used in the construction of the
road about 200 miles from where the
timber was being cut. Mr.. Frost al
leges that Leonhard is still removing
this timber to Wallula Junction, and
delivering the same to the Oregon and
Washington Territory railroad. He
a leges that the timber already cut by
Leonhard is worth $400, 900, and that
it is now being cut at the rate OF $4,000
day.
ANOTHER CASE.
The affidavit alleges that Thomas
Johnson and forty employees are also
cutting and removing timber and that
the wood already cut by him is valued
at 5000, 900 and is being cut at the rate
of $4,000 a day.

A Mexican Murderer Surrenders
HfmSelf-His Defense.

PRESCOTT, A. T., October GA
Mexican named Antonio Rome, came
this morning from Walnut Grove and
gave himself up to the officers. He
said that he had killed another Mexi-
can named Antonio Medano. Medano,
who was quarrelsome, drew a knife
on Rome, although warned to keep
away. Rome then picked up Win
chester and fired, killing Medano
almost instantly. A number of Mexi-
cans in the camp who were under the
influence Of liquor, told Rome to give
up the gun and they would protect
him. After lie did so, they attempted
to lynch him, but he was protected by
Americans. When visited in his cell,
he said that he was sorry he had to
kill Medano, but he would rather do it
than get killed. 1t is thought that the
coroner's jury will yindicate him.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, October 6.-Ex
Senator d. j. Creighton failed to ap-
pear for sentence in Judge Sullivan's
court this morning, and his bonds
were declared forfeited. This was the
day set for the trial of Robert w.
Morrow and James McCord, who
were indicted on charges of attempted
jury-bribing at the same time with
Creighton.
McCord failed to appear and pro-
ceedings will be taken against him at
once. Ex-Deputy Sheriff Davis, prin-
cipal witness against Morrow, who
who disappeared short time ago, also
failed to appear in court. His wife
was present, and said she had heard
from her husband, and that he was in
Montreal.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
When the case of r. F. Morrow was
called in court to-day the bailiff an
nounced that there was no answer to
the names, except those of Northey
and Schmidt.
"Is McCord here ?" asked the Judge.
McCord not being present the Judge
desired to examine his bonds, and
Assistant District Attorney Graves
sent for them. Being informed that
Mr.. Preston, the counsel for McCord,
could not be in court during the after
noon, the Court set the time for trial
at 10 A.. M. tomorrow. The Judge
added that McCord was known to be
in Phoenix, Ariz.
MoRROw's TRIAL POSTPONED.
The case of Robert w. Morrow was
postponed for one week in order to
give the prosecution an opportunity to
search for Davis, the missing witness.
